(0:58) This is VERY INTERESTING.....here's how I tackle it.
Very difficult to hear wha he's doing....DAMMNIT PAUL!!
Ok ....I play this part muting over the 3rd fret bar.....because
the technique is to mute but to let the harmonic ring out when I
have it on the tab.....

| So you're saying that just because violence got us where we are today then we shouldn't try to stop it? War also produced bloody regimes, much more of those than free-speech democracies. | |

| This is the right answer and I personally verified it with MJK: MJK served in the military for 2-3 years and was accepted to the United States Military Academy "Prep School." The school exists for active duty enlisted personnel and post high-school athletes to prepare them for the Academy (aka West Point). The West Point honor code states, "A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal nor tolerate those who do." This is NOT the army motto, but rather the Academy policy. By either lying, cheating, stealing or tolerating those who do, a cadet will get expelled. Upon graduation from the prep school (1 year in length), cadet candidates are either appointed (accepted) or not. MJK was appointed, but turned it down because he felt he couldn't turn in his friends if he had found out they broke the honor code. The 1 year school finished MJK's committment to the military and he promptly was discharged. The song reflects his views on the subject and inability to accept the policy. Believe it or not, I actually emailed MJK (in 1998 or 1999) and asked directly what this song was about since I was a West Point cadet at the time. About 6-7 weeks later, he replied to the effect that I have dictated above. | |

| This song is mocking the Army's pledge of "I will not lie, cheat, or steal, nor will I tolerate anyothers who do". This comes from his upbringing in a military school. | |

| Well that's what the most powerful man in the world at the moment wants to be legal. So I guess once we go illegally into Iraq anyone can do what they want. I saw this song as being about a relationship with a human, but as with many Tool, songs this is usually just a cover or metaphore for somthing completly different. | |

| I think that Maynard believes American/Bristish action to invade Iraq symbolizes a desperate attempt to hold power in the middle East and that in some respects America holds similarities to the Roman Empire- trying to educate and control the planet in an expansionist fashion. As saudi Arabia is the worlds largest exporter of oil in the world and its Royal family who hold sovereignity of power are in direct threat from rebellious factions, the Americans need a foothold in the middle east and Iraq was the perfect excuse. Even though Sadamn is indeed a murderer and a tyrant, the intelligence on his supposed nuclear capability were not just grossly but completely fabricated. Now for simple morons like ToolRulz, this means that the CIA are liars. As for the song, this intolerance that Maynard feels is being predominantly directed at the elite(the army being linked to the elite of course.) It is today evident that the elite in most countries, particularly America are responsible for murder(war), lying to the public perpetually as a way of surviving, cheating( look at the last American election) and stealing( creaping towards health care, invading countries and plundering and certainly manipulating the economics in the world to Americas advantage. All these actions are being shrouded by virtue and people still sing and praise their glory. Maynard is saying that even though he like all of us tries to stay in line(and we have to whether we like it or not) he will not tolerate these people who lie, cheat and steal. The way in which he defies what he disagrees with is through his music and everyday choices. The very fact that this song exists is a such a great benefit for all those interested in it. Refering to "no one is innocent" , i think this can be put in context when we look at the mentallity of the elite and the military who believe because of their status and "nessesity" that they are innocent. I think maynard is trying to say that we are all capable of doing bad things however the elite and the military are the only ones who are not subject to the same punishment that we all are. They create the laws but do not obide them and he in his own way will not tolerate this, whether he can do anything about it is another story. But writing a song like this is a bloody good start. Lastly,if you choose to interpret this as intolerance of an individual, you need to remember that the predominant focus of Maynerd;s self expression is being human and being part of humanity. I think we should interpret it both ways and leave the possibilty open, as we can learn how to make choices based on personal relationships, as well as views on the status quo. | |
